[graziano]

Hi

I cannot use gd on my server ; anyone can tell me
how to create a simple horizontal bar ( It should show values from 0 to 100) without gd using a pixel gradient image from yellow to red ?

I am searching on google from hours but I found nothing but
ultra sofisticated chart ...

Any help please ?

Thank you

You could use photoshop or other paint program 😉

Ok, seriously. Heres one way.
Just create that gradient bar in some paint program. Then just resize(width) that image in your code and show in img tag.

<?php
$value = 50;
$maxval = 100;
$size = 300; // MaxSize of image when $value is 100
$x2 = floor(($value / $maxval)* $size);
?>
<img src="barpic.png" width="<?php echo $x2; ?>">

You can also use CSS to create that..
